Post-pandemic learning in a school on the move, Villa Jardin

Background

Following the Covid pandemic, teaching methods have had to reorganise (online, social distancing and outdoors).

Activities

This project, set in a deprived neighbourhood in the suburb of the capital, strengthened the school on-site teaching with new IT devices, a technology room and adjustments in their multi-purposes room (better acclimatisation and lightening). Outdoor activities were reinforced with new green spaces and the embellishment and adaptation of the school sport ground.

Results

The school community enjoys now outdoor spaces where they feel secure (wire mesh) and where the PE unit can be taught adequately. Embellishing together the common spaces has increased the sense of community among the students across levels. The new outdoor spaces have in addition led to a better caring of our common home and an ethic of caring. The new IT equipment provided the school with a nowadays indispensable tool for a quality education of its students and a door to their future. It promoted knowledge and generated social equity.
